I’m a teacher in Sumner School District. Our union fought for class size caps many years ago and our district agreed as it is what is best for kids. I think our kindergarten classes cannot be above 24. This year I have 20 students and it is heaven! I can actually get more things accomplished with my students individually because of it. I think the SPS class sizes are absurd for k-3. The foundation grades are truly the most important and they need to have the lowest class sizes possible. Although studies show that it doesn’t make much academic difference unless the class size is 15 or less, as a teacher, I can tell you it truly does make a difference in how much one-to-one time I can spend with my students if the class size is below 24.
